Popular health resources Hospital News recently interviewed Insception Lifebank’s own Dr. Ian Rogers. Founder of the Insception Lifebank Cord Blood Program, Dr. Rogers is dedicated to cord blood technology and stem cell researcher. He is currently researching a procedure that would use cord blood stem cells to treat Type 1 diabetes.
Diabetes destroys cells that produce insulin. Unless treated with regular injections, Type 1 diabetes can be fatal. It can also have negative effects on the eyes, kidneys, heart and nervous system.
As part of Dr. Rogers new research, his team is developing an artificial pancreas that houses cord blood stem cells that produce insulin. A patient with Type 1 diabetes would then be fitted with the pancreas, and the hope is that it will restore the natural insulin-producing functions to the patient’s body.
If successful, this research could be groundbreaking. It is the first and only of its kind and Insception Lifebank Cord Blood Program is confident that Dr. Rogers and his team can help to expand the usage of cord blood technology.
